Map name: Ctf_Anthill

Game mode: Reversed CTF

Waypointed: Yes, not smart, but yes

Recommanded Players: 8+

Features: Useable Artillaries with Guidence system, Reversed CTF (Kinda like a duel sided inf game) mode, Defensive chokepoints.

Story: During WWI, a division of the french army were ordered to attack and capture the Anthill, which was considered to be a Suidide mission. On the day of the attack, the French army retreated after they've suffered heavy losses before they even reached the foothills. To punish them, the higher generals ordered the excution of 3 innocent soldiers. Now, it is your turn to take the Anthill, can you defeat the Soviets, and claim the Anthill for the french???

Since this is Ctf, the map is more or less mirrored on each side. so I'm only going to post one side of the map, since the other side is almost exactly the same.

Yeah, I found that the best way to throw one is to stand on the edge of one, if you use my crosshairs, I'll most likely reach the target.

i made a circle with artiullery once that no matter where you were, youd get hit. ther were also some stat guns, so it was like, get to the triangle or pay.

You've used quite a lot of scenery-gfx from other maps, and you have not even given credits!
Also you could at least give credits to chakapoko_maker for the original artillery idea! :/

Add some documentation with your map, it seems that some smart players don't understand how to use the artillery polygons at first...
On the other hand, the maps doesn't look too bad.
I think it needs more jetpack fuel. either that or I didn't understand the purpose of the map... that would be coherent since the french couldn't claim the anthill. ;)
Finally, the waypoints suck.
Good job.

oh yes, I didn't remember to give credit on this topic, although, i did give credit on my other topic, the sneak preview one. Anyways, I'll give credit again here, thx Chakapoko_maker, Tha Doggfather, and LXS for those awsome scenaries.

I'll just post here how to use an Artillary:

1. Stand near a yellow Polygon (The best spot I've found is when your soldat is half inside the polygon.

2. Throw granade (It should reach the spot it is designated to if you use those crosshairs i made.

3. Restock on Nades, Repeat, and have fun.

As for the reason for such tiny jetfuel, i was hoping to make this map realistic style, and to make it so that each side cannot use paths that are supposed to be used by the other side.

Yeah, the waypoints suck alot, but then, it is unavoidable, since this is Reverse CTF

Was I wrong? I wasn't really listening when i was in World History class lol....the teacher never lectured, we just watched movies all the time...don't hate me because the American education system is too loose and free

american education is bull[:-censored]. i got out at 16 by taking a test that was as hard as jello. it's kinda useless having trench-warfare, because of the weapons.(assumingthere's no jet boots) and the jumping. you can jump REALLY high, and bomb with an M79, and youve got a new trench. plus it's 2D, thus you can only really have 1 guy per trench that can fire. but do it anyway!! XD make a map full of trenches with like, 5 underground tunnels and such!! XD

really, the Anthill map has a really good Trench system, there is absolutly no way you can directly shoot at anyone without exposing yourself. You could always lob shots, but you can't do that with the barret, and by the time you lob a shot of M79, any respectable soldat player would have gotten out of the area of fire by now.

The bots dont do anything...

The run up the hill, then back down, then up, then down. The little hill underneath your base.

I tried nading them up and out of it, they run back...

I couldn't even find the enemy base...but I like the fact you implemented some stationary weapons.

Be sure to rate the map after you play it for a little bit.

Actually, that map was supposed to be for humans only, since a reverse ctf map would never ever work right
